"First off, I want to apologize to Gene and Mr. (Shahid) Khan and Coach Mularkey," Blackmon said. "The whole organization, teammates, everyone that my poor judgment brought bad press to. I want to apologize to fans or people that looked up to me. What I did, the decision I made over the weekend, that might be questioning who I am. I just want to apologize for that and let people know that's not who I am, that's not who I'm going to be."

Blackmon was asked if he had a problem with alcohol, considering his previous DUI arrest in college.

"I do not. I just made a poor choice," Blackmon said. "It was completely my fault. I just have to make better judgment."

The Jaguars' brass said Blackmon's actions were unacceptable. Blackmon said he'll get the necessary help.

"I'm going to seek whatever I need to seek," Blackmon said.

These types of news conferences are necessary, but they ultimately ring hollow because we've seen it all before. We give Blackmon a ton of credit for realizing that.

"Words are words, and it's my actions that are going to have to show," Blackmon said.
